2010 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · EO10 FPL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the record indicates a pattern of immediate rectification following failures. The most recent test on 25 October 2023 at 142,495 miles passed with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This sequence repeated on 26 October 2022 at 130,987 miles, where the car also failed and subsequently passed. This trend suggests the owner is proactive in addressing faults once they are flagged rather than allowing multiple issues to accumulate. At 142,495 miles, this sixteen-year-old Ford Kuga has averaged approximately 8,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent progression, with roughly 12,500 miles covered between the October 2021 and 2022 tests, and another 11,500 miles between 2022 and 2023. This steady rate of use precludes long periods of standing that often lead to perished rubber components or brake fluid contamination. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most likely to fail on a high-mileage Kuga of this era. Given the repeated failures and passes, a thorough check of the suspension arm bushes, coil springs, and lateral links is necessary to ensure no hidden play remains. You should also inspect the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches, as these are common areas for corrosion on this model. While the MOT record is currently clean, the mileage suggests that brake discs and pads should be examined for thickness and signs of uneven wear.
